School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1874 - 1960: Supreme Unyielding Spirit

Even at the Supreme Seventh Layer, the Nine You Evil Emperor possessed the power to break through. With the current fierce battle raging between them, none of the eight great powerhouses of Demon God Mountain nor the lingering spirits of the Ancient God Demon Battlefield could dare approach within a thousand-mile radius.

If the Nine You Evil Emperor, currently at the Supreme Seventh Layer, were to advance to the Supreme Eighth Layer, wouldn't the entire Panlong Star Domain face annihilation from the clash of these two formidable beings?

Both the Heavenly Gate Ancestor and the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor had reaped substantial rewards from their venture into the Secret Realm. Chen Nan had already allowed the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor to depart earlier, and this elder had yet to leave his side.

"Brother Chen," the elder from the Golden Sword Sect, who was remarkably astute to the prevailing circumstances, addressed him.

Chen Nan offered a smile, "If you have something on your mind, feel free to speak."

"In ancient times, sages declared that confronting grave injustice, the most heinous act is fratricide. While the Dragon Emperor and Nine You stand on opposing sides of righteousness and evil, at a crucial juncture, they would undoubtedly unite against any external threat. The lineage of the Nine You Evil Emperor underwent countless reincarnations untold ages ago, and their current pursuit of vengeance likely stems from an unresolved grievance," the elder explained.

Upon hearing the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor's lengthy discourse, Chen Nan couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Are you not stating the obvious? If the Nine You Evil Emperor could simply let go of his past, this conflict wouldn't have persisted until now."

The Golden Sword Sect Ancestor let out a trembling chuckle. "Brother Chen, I have not yet finished. In antiquity, there was the custom of 'cutting off the robe to sever ties,' and also 'cutting hair to replace the head'!"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Gate Ancestor interjected, "Had you not brought it up, I might have forgotten. Indeed, such methods existed. The Dragon Emperor would certainly not permit Nine You to slay him standing, but given that the transgression originated from him back then, perhaps allowing the Nine You Evil Emperor to take his hair once might be an acceptable resolution."

"In that case, I shall first confer with the Dragon Emperor. Should he consent, the Small Tower can then convey the message to the Nine You Evil Emperor," Chen Nan proposed, deep in thought.

Chen Nan pondered. The ancient powerhouses were deeply influenced by Confucian ideals; perhaps they could truly accept the ancient sages' methods. After all, so many years had elapsed, and the inhabitants of Jiuyou Valley had undergone numerous reincarnations.

In the Four Extremes World, only the physical form perishes; the Divine Soul can achieve reincarnation, which is not equivalent to complete obliteration.

Chen Nan promptly initiated communication with the Dragon Emperor.

He harbored little confidence, acknowledging that within the entirety of the Four Extremes World, the Dragon Emperor's might was merely a step below the Supreme Kings, and he could erupt to the Supreme Ninth or Tenth Layer of the Supreme King Realm at any moment.

For a formidable being cultivated through arrogance over countless eons, it seemed improbable that he would readily yield or compromise.

Chen Nan conveyed the concept of 'cutting hair as a replacement' to the Dragon Emperor via a Divine Thought. Immediately, the Dragon Emperor's arrogant laughter reverberated within Chen Nan's Sea of Consciousness. "Chen Nan, I hadn't anticipated your knowledge of the Ancient Saints' ways. Haha, however, this method will not suffice."

"Alas, the Dragon Emperor has still rejected it!" Chen Nan sighed, a sense of dejection washing over him.

However, in the very next second, the Dragon Emperor's voice resounded once more: "Chen Nan, merely cutting hair is far too simplistic. Nine You will likely not compromise. I am on the cusp of resurrection, and upon my return, I shall manifest a relic. Let him slay it, which should serve to quell his hatred."

"What! Dragon Emperor, you intend to allow the Nine You Evil Emperor to slay your relic! That relic is your former physical embodiment, containing no less than thirty percent of your Cultivation. Its destruction will undoubtedly delay your return to your peak state," the Haotian Tower couldn't help but exclaim.

Internally, the Haotian Tower felt a pang of regret, considering that if the Dragon Emperor's relic could be forged into battle armor, its defensive capabilities would rival, if not surpass, the Heavenly Stone Battle Armor and Ancient Shield currently donned by Chen Nan.

Should it be integrated with the Heavenly Stone Battle Armor and Ancient Shield, their combined defensive power would at least double.

No one had anticipated the Dragon Emperor's profound generosity; it was truly astonishing.

"To absolve myself of this karmic debt, a slower return to my peak state is a worthwhile price. I loathe owing anyone anything," the Dragon Emperor's voice boomed heartily.

"Very well! My dragon tail shall soon emerge from the Stone Coffin. At that juncture, my relic will manifest in the Void, permitting the Nine You Evil Emperor to slay it, signifying a break from the past and a new beginning!"

A surge of excitement coursed through Chen Nan upon hearing the Dragon Emperor’s proclamation. However, he quickly grasped that this confrontation was between two immensely powerful beings, and his own elation was, therefore, unwarranted.

An agreement was swiftly forged between the Haotian Tower and the Nine You Evil Emperor.

To Chen Nan's astonishment, the Nine You Evil Emperor readily consented.

"Senior Nine You, we have a pact. Once you have dealt with the Dragon Emperor's relic, this matter will be concluded. Following that, we shall proceed to the Outer Domain Battlefield to confront the Heavenly People Clan," Chen Nan stated promptly after the Haotian Tower finalized the terms with the Nine You Evil Emperor.

"Chen Nan, your shrewdness is truly remarkable. Yet, I confess to a certain lingering attachment to the past. To the Dragon Emperor, we humans are no more than ants, easily crushed without a second thought."

"These past few days of intense conflict have gradually eroded that obsession. Let this dispute end here. The methods of the Ancient Saints hold little appeal for me; such pretense is best left behind."

The Nine You Evil Emperor offered a serene smile, his aggressive stance having already subsided.

Chen Nan stood utterly bewildered, the outcome far from what he had anticipated.

His gaze shifted to the Sky Dragon King, a contemplative gleam in his eyes. He had initially believed the Ghost Sovereign's prophecy would materialize, with the Haotian Tower intervening to quell the conflict, yet the situation had resolved in such an unexpected manner.

The vagaries of fate are truly immeasurable. Had the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor been eliminated sooner, who could possibly foretell the ensuing chain of events?

Observing the two supreme powerhouses cease their engagement, Chen Nan, with characteristic audacity, approached, "Senior Dragon Emperor, your relic..."

Concurrently, the Dragon Emperor fully emerged from the Stone Coffin, his majestic Five-clawed Divine Dragon executing a 'Divine Dragon Tail' maneuver in the vast expanse of the void, radiating an aura of immense power. The Stone Coffin, previously suspended in the void, underwent a rapid transformation, reshuffling its form in mere moments.

Within a handful of breaths, it coalesced into a dragon-like entity, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Dragon Emperor himself. Upon closer inspection, Chen Nan was astounded to realize that this was, in fact, the Dragon Emperor's relic.

"Senior Dragon Emperor, it is no wonder you could so effortlessly absorb the power within this Stone Coffin when we were in the Tomb World Small World; it was your former body all along."

Chen Nan could not help but marvel at the Dragon Emperor's astuteness, every move meticulously calculated. It became clear why the Heavenly Lords of the Magic Realm had been so easily manipulated by him.

"This relic rightfully belongs to you. A true gentleman's word is his bond. Having resolved to relinquish this relic, I have no intention of reclaiming it."

The Dragon Emperor noticed Chen Nan's covetous gaze fixed upon the relic. With a graceful sweep of his dragon claw, the relic transmuted into a miniature, palm-sized golden dragon, descending gently into Chen Nan's outstretched hand.

"This relic encapsulates the very essence of my True Body from ancient times. You may refine this essence and integrate it into your battle armor. Furthermore, concerning the fusion of this Heavenly Stone Battle Armor and the Ancient Shield—the Nine You Evil Emperor can lend his assistance, as he possesses Immortal Spirit Qi from a separate dimension, which will facilitate a more complete and seamless integration."

The Dragon Emperor regarded Chen Nan with a warm, approving gaze.

The Nine You Evil Emperor descended from the ethereal heights, positioning himself beside Chen Nan. "Brother, we have been acquainted for a considerable time, yet I have never bestowed upon you a proper token of my regard. Seeing as the Dragon Emperor himself has relinquished his relic, I cannot possibly fall short in my contribution!"

This presented an ideal opportunity to reciprocate the favor Chen Nan had shown him.
